Allow programmatic MAX Calibration.

Status: New

Problem:  When creating large numbers of virtual channels, the calibraton of these channels can be very time consuming and cumbersome.  In large applications there can be literally hundreds of channels requiring days to calibrate. 

 

Calibration equipment these days can be purchased with programmable capability or remote communication.  Having low level functions available in Labview to calibrate MAX virtual channels programmatically would greatly reduce the time needed for calibration and reduce the potential errors of calibrating each point individually.  It would also be useful to view the calibration data and scaling data from MAX in the Labview environment.

I have actually put together a set of VIs that will let you get darned close to this.  These VIs let you edit channels in the same interface that the DAQmx Assistants use.  This means that you can access the calibration sub tab to create, view, or change calibration information.

 

Programmatically Call NI DAQmx Assistants

 

There are vi's to create and edit channels, tasks, and scales as well.
